Where to find Kia color code

How to Find Your Kia's Color Code

Kia codes are easy to find as they are always on the drivers door jamb. Typical format: B3. Example mapping: B3 Mica Blue Metallic Clearcoat. Same Color Code, Different Name: Kia, like all manufacturers, uses the exact same color across many models and then will have a different color name for each model. This is why the color code is so important to order the correct paint. For example, B3, above we call Mica Blue Metallic Clearcoat. It could also be called Blue Clearcoat, Light Mist Clearcoat, etc.

Your Paint Color Profile

Graphite Gray

The Look

This is not your average rental car charcoal. Since your Kia has been on the road for a few seasons, you have likely noticed how this shade transforms depending on the light. On a cloudy day, it looks like a deep, solid slate, but under the sun, a heavy load of metallic and pearl flakes wakes up. This color was chosen for the EV6 and the redesigned Sorento because it highlights the sharp, technical body lines that define the modern Kia lineup. It is a practical choice that hides road salt and dust remarkably well, but it demands a clean, high-gloss finish to truly look its best.

Technical Details

You are dealing with a complex metallic and pearl mixture. This is not a flat paint that goes on easily like a primer. The metallic flakes are much heavier than the liquid paint they float in, meaning they naturally want to sink to the bottom of your container. If you do not mix them properly, you will end up with "mottling"-dark, cloudy patches or stripes where the flakes have clumped together. To avoid this, you must ensure the flakes are suspended evenly before they ever touch your car. If the paint goes on too thick in one spot, the flakes will "drown" and lose their shimmer, leaving the repair looking like a dark smudge rather than a match.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Kia Graphite Gray (check for code AGT), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can find your specific paint code on the identification sticker located inside the driver's side door jamb. Once you have mixed the paint, test the color on the included card to verify the flake density matches your car. When you begin the repair, keep the container moving at all times to ensure an even distribution of the metallic particles. Apply several thin layers rather than one thick one, allowing enough drying time between each coat. This patience allows the flakes to lay flat and catch the light correctly. Finish with a clear coat to protect the repair and provide the depth that this metallic finish requires.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4” long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my vehicle’s paint code?

Your paint code is usually found in the driver’s door jamb, trunk, or under the hood. See our Kia Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Yes. If your Kia's color code is 'AGT', your paint is custom-mixed to factory specs and backed by our Color Match Guarantee. If the paint does not match your Kia, we will send you a replacement or refund.

Do I need primer and clearcoat?

While primer is recommended on bare metal or plastic, clearcoat is essential: it protects the basecoat and restores factory gloss.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are mixed fresh and ship within 3–5 business days. Delivery takes 2–14 days depending on location.

Which touch up product should I choose?

 It depends on the size of the damage:

  • Paint Pen (½ oz) – Best for very small chips and fine scratches.
  • Brush Bottle (2 oz) – Great for medium chips or scratches up to the size of a quarter.
  • Spray Can – Ideal for larger areas and panels.
  • Professional Sizes (Pint, Quart, Gallon) – Designed for full panel and vehicle resprays using spray equipment.

Not sure? If it’s just rock chips or small scratches, start with a Paint Pen.

Can I return my order?

Yes! If there’s a color match issue, we’ll replace the product or give you your money back. You also can return unopened, non-custom accessories for a full refund.

How long will the paint last in storage?

Paint pens and bottles last about a year if stored cool and dry. Spray cans can last several years if the nozzle is cleaned.
